'59 Chevy 2-door hardtop -- at the Buena Park Swap Meet

This is a really nice looking car with super thin pillars (no B-pillar), lots of glass & those cool horizontal tail fins.  Notice the backlite that wraps pretty far up the roof.

Vaco, Maruto & a fawcet wrench -- Before & After Cleaning

AFTER

This tool has a unique tip that would only fit a certain shaped fastener...

Had not heard of this brand before.  A little search shows that it's a Japanese company.  The tool itself is not marked with the country where it was made.

After cleaning

 New tool.  No need to clean...

PV bike ride with Jerome -- Sunday, June 23, 2019

Looking down on the south bay beaches (first is Redondo, then Hermosa, Manhattan, the power plant then LAX).

Just on the way up PV Drive East.  Looking down over the Trump golf course...

Colnago Tecnos -- Front Fork Rust Cleaning Continued

I've applied the rust dissolver twice.  It's getting better but there may be more improvement possible.  Applied another coat of the dissolver & will let it sit overnight...

After another night & some more cleaning, this is how it looks.  It's getting better, gradually.  I put yet another coating of the dissolver on it.  I think it may be the 5th time...

Did the cleaning process yet once again (lost count of how many times I've don it).

It's still getting better.  But, I think it's getting to the point of diminishing returns.  Next, I'll apply the rust stabilizer on.

This is the back side of the fork.  It's gotten a lot better.

The sides of the forks look pretty good.
